Yeah, Northern Africa was arguably one of the power centers of the Roman Empire. Several of their largest cities were there.

It might be interesting to see them do a Fury Road type retelling. Idriss Elba isn't 007, but the story is about his character, not Bond. That might play well into the theme of 007 representing white Britain's anxieties about the modern world.

I feel like that would read just as accurately if you flipped it the other way around though. Hence the ongoing arguments and debates.

I mean, literally the first thing he said after the election was that the Democrats needed to stop focusing on identity politics. Because, you know, after a victory from one of the most overtly racist candidates in modern American political history, his biggest concern was about making white people feel bad. Not,…

Let him get the same exposure as Trump and his Christian Sharia philosophies will be roundly routed by the American people.

Yeah, some of her personal involvement on local school issues has been really sketchy. I mean, I like her show for the most part, and I'm pretty sketched out by it still.

Okay, I somewhat roll back my combative comment a little bit up. I completely agree that both Clinton and Sanders were poor candidates, and the Democrats really needed to put someone else good forward. And frankly, it frustrates me that few people seem to be of that opinion. But I also think that reopening old…

Yeah, I was doing research in the very Southern part of the Republic and got yelled at for using the term 'British Isles'.

And in all fairness, all that I can offer are some anecdotes.

Wait . . . does he actually have a golden toilet? Like, I thought that was a joke. Is there evidence of this?

I've always gotten the sense that the BBC sort of cherry picks those types, though. I never trust them to give me a look into the minds of average Americans because it plays pretty well with their audience for them to portray us as uneducated idiots. If you compare it to their own coverage of things like UKIP or…

Yeah, I'm not saying that the voting patterns of minorities support an anti-Bernie position. I just don't think you can use them to show a pro-Bernie position. For context, I'm a Democrat who didn't particularly like either Sander or Clinton.

I think Maryland has Texas' weather. We were at 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity. We should all get together and swap back.

I'm just gonna say it. I have family in Hamilton and I like it there better than Toronto.

You have really good dessert wine. Just sayin'
